Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Pathros, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and its context. However, references to Egypt in the Greek New Testament may indirectly relate to the broader region that includes Pathros.

Usage: Pathros is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific geographical region in Egypt. It is mentioned in the context of the dispersion and return of the Jewish people, as well as in prophecies concerning Egypt.

Context: Pathros is a significant region in biblical narratives, particularly in the prophetic books. It is mentioned in the context of the Jewish diaspora and the eventual return of the exiles. In Isaiah 11:11, Pathros is listed among the places from which the Lord will gather the remnant of His people: "On that day the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea." This indicates the presence of a Jewish community in Pathros during the time of the exile.

In Jeremiah 44:1, Pathros is mentioned as one of the locations where the Jewish people settled after fleeing the Babylonian conquest: "This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in the land of Egypt—in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis—and in the land of Pathros." This highlights the historical movement and settlement patterns of the Jewish people during the tumultuous period of the Babylonian exile.

Ezekiel 29:14 also references Pathros in a prophecy against Egypt: "I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom." This passage underscores the significance of Pathros as a part of Egypt's identity and heritage.

Pathros, therefore, serves as a geographical and cultural marker within the biblical narrative, representing both a place of exile and a point of return for the Jewish people, as well as a region integral to the identity of ancient Egypt.
